CRM: the professional standard for risk managers.

The Certified Risk Managers Program provides the foremost education available in the field of risk management. The curricula, developed by leading risk management practitioners, is recognized as the most practical in the industry.

The CRM Program consists of five courses of rigorous, practical study, featuring instruction about today’s highest priorities—strategic planning and identifying, analyzing, controlling, financing, and administering operational risks—as well as political risks, catastrophic loss exposures, third-party exposures, fiduciary exposures, employee injury exposures, juridical risks, legal risks, and more—whether insurable or not.

Who Should Attend

All active risk managers are encouraged to attend the CRM Program, along with accountants, financial and insurance professionals, loss control and legal experts, and those who specialize in claims—regardless of affiliation or professional designation. We recommend participants come to the program with two or more years of experience in a related field.

Five Separate Yet Interdependent Courses These five challenging courses address all areas of risk management and are taught by highly visible and experienced risk management experts. Each course is 21/2 days of instruction, followed by an optional exam. To earn the CRM designation, participants must complete all five courses and pass all five examinations within five years. The CRM Program is also a continuing education opportunity; any eligible individual may attend classes without taking the examinations or working toward the designation.

We recommend that this be the first course taken in the CRM Program. It lays a solid foundation for an overall knowledge of the risk management concepts and introduces a case study that will be interwoven into each subsequent CRM course. The result is a comprehensive risk management program.

“CRM courses stand out as the very best available to insurance and risk management professionals. They are very well organized and comprehensive. Most importantly, they are delivered in a very practical manner by knowledgeable faculty, constantly applying theory and concepts to everyday practice. This both engages participants, and prepares them for certification by relying on real-world application and problem solving.”

Risk Managers, This is Your DesignationA CRM designation is visible confirmation of professionalism. It demonstrates knowledge in areas of managing risks, exposures, perils, and hazards—tangible evidence of a commitment to continuing excellence. Attaining the CRM designation requires the successful completion of all five courses and examinations within a period of five years.
